Don&#8217;t let that angelic smile fool you. This child is a dare devil. She wanted to do all of the really crazy rides. After we rode the go karts (I had to ride with her because she wasn&#8217;t tall enough to drive herself), we did her favorite carnival rides. After the second one, I had to start looking for rides that she could do by herself because I couldn&#8217;t take anymore. I seriously felt like throwing up my dinner if I rode another dizzying ride.<\/p>\n<p><object type=\"application\/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"480\" height=\"850\" data=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/apps\/video\/stewart.swf\" classid=\"clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000\"><param name=\"flashvars\" value=\"intl_lang=en-US&#038;photo_secret=85bf85de17&#038;photo_id=14601964656&#038;hd_default=false\"><\/param><param name=\"movie\" value=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/apps\/video\/stewart.swf\"><\/param><param name=\"bgcolor\" value=\"#000000\"><\/param><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\"><\/param><embed type=\"application\/x-shockwave-flash\" src=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/apps\/video\/stewart.swf\" bgcolor=\"#000000\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" flashvars=\"intl_lang=en-US&#038;photo_secret=85bf85de17&#038;photo_id=14601964656&#038;hd_default=false\" width=\"480\" height=\"850\"><\/embed><\/object><\/p>\n<p>She said this was her favorite because it scared me the most and made me scream a lot.
